The Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office seized an arsenal of illegal weapons from what they're calling a "sophisticated ghost gun factory."

They found the student had a loaded ghost gun and confiscated the weapon.

"Thanks to the quick actions of these on-campus School Resource Officers, this gun was seized and possibly prevented a tragic event from occurring," police said in a Twitter post.

The incident is under investigation and there is no ongoing threat to the public or school, police said.
